I am also required to buy Dell per company standards. I have two R805s, which is one of the rare times where Dell is selling servers with the six-core Opterons. I have a Digium TE-420 (PCI Express) in each. No problems so far, but they've only been live a few weeks. The R805 has 16x dimm slots which you can populate with a total of 128GB of ram. Our other R805 is NOT used for asterisk, but it's hammered with heavy Oracle loads, has an attached Dell sata drive box, and has had no problems other than early deployment problems with the driver / firmware / crashes with the external Dell sata card. Once we upgraded everything and fully replaced the card the problems were resolved. It's been up solid for at least six months. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
